Schiff: "The president -- 'I'm going out to play golf.' One thing that is so shocking to me is that they're appealing to the Supreme Court for the right to cut off food from people. Who does that? Who works so hard to cut food from people who need it right now? The cruelty is part of the policy."

“More and more cabinet members — Rubio, Miller, Noem — live on military bases now, & it's another parallel to Iraq, where the administration lived in the Green Zone. There’s something deeply unhealthy about a society where leaders are literally shut off from the communities that they govern.”

"Instead of surging in Iraq, it’s happening here in American cities."

The overwhelming takeaway from Tuesday’s elections could not have been clearer: It’s time to counter the chaos and cruelty perpetuated by this administration and and get back to investing in our #publicschools and school communities.

Yesterday, as children were arriving for preschool, they witnessed their beloved teacher being violently and unjustly detained by ICE.

Such abductions make no one safer. They only endanger our families, our freedoms, and our futures.

We must fight to protect our schools by law. Join us.

This bill is a response to the Trump administration’s rescission of the protected areas policy, which placed certain spaces off-limits to ICE and other federal agencies.

Every student deserves access to services that they need to learn and grow and succeed.

Anything less—like this administration dismantling and de-prioritizing special education—is an abandonment of our children.

Despite federal court orders to use emergency funds to continue federal food assistance, this administration continues to put 42 million lives—children, seniors, families—at risk.

The chaos and uncertainty they are creating is cruel. It is shameful. It is dangerous.

Starving children and families to score political points is beyond cruel. It's vile and vindictive. The lives of 42 million Americans should not be used as bargaining chips. We will not stay silent while our students, families, and neighbors go hungry.

The very educators who dedicate their lives to serving military families are being forced to work without pay, and now the Trump administration is telling them they owe money to the government? This reflects a stunning level of chaos, confusion, and contempt.

Beshear: Let me be clear. The president has both the funding and the authority to fund snap during a shutdown. In fact, every other president in every other shutdown has done so. People going hungry in this instance is a choice that this president has made.

Public Service Loan Forgiveness is meant to make repayment possible for public servants like educators. But the Trump administration's illegal new rule decimates the program and imposes harsh restrictions.

NEA refuses to stand by while politicians trap educators in a cycle of debt—so we're suing.
